Question
i am 13 and would like to get a glove like manny ramirez wears , he has done great since using a akadema glove almost all my friend wear akadema ,i asked my father for one can you tell me what size in should wear i am 5ft tall 97 pound

Answer
Hey Joey,

Not knowing you or seeing you, I would suggest to let the salesperson help you with size.. Go somewhere where there are a lot of gloves to choose from, so the sales person doesn't just give you anything to make a sale.  You may even want to get sized by more than one person.  
Also try one of your teammate's gloves and check out the different sizes.  Then check with the coach.. See what he thinks.  Good Luck..
